Summary
In the lead-up to the May 3 federal election, 59-year-old Greens senator Nick McKim has begun streaming himself playing Fortnite to engage younger voters, having reached level 91 after playing with his stepchildren. He aims to make politics more relatable and accessible, addressing unconventional viewer questions while promoting a fun, conversational format compared to traditional media. This strategy aligns with a broader trend of politicians leveraging platforms like Twitch to connect with Gen Z and millennials, as they are expected to outnumber baby boomers at the polls.
